Harris Seeds Blue Hubbard Squash

Blue Hubbard squash are renowned for their excellent storage potential. When kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, they can maintain their quality and flavor for several months, often lasting well into the winter.

The dense, fine-textured orange flesh holds up exceptionally well during cooking. It is a versatile choice for roasting, thickening soups, or creating smooth, flavorful homemade purées.

This is a trailing variety, meaning it requires significant room to spread. Plan for ample space in your garden plot or ensure you have a sturdy trellis system if you intend to grow them vertically.

The seeds have been coated with a fungicide treatment to help protect them from soil-borne diseases during the germination process. This is a standard practice to improve the success rate of seedlings in the garden.

Because these plants produce large, trailing vines and heavy fruits weighing up to 10 pounds, they are generally not suitable for standard containers. They perform best when planted directly in the ground where their vines have plenty of room to roam.
